About this property

Steps to the beach from this cozy, updated home w/ an oceanview, WiFi, fireplace

Relax in our private vacation home! Our Rockaway Beach vacation rental has a partial ocean view and is just a few steps across the street to the sand! This house has been owned by our family for over 40 years. The ranch style house has been recently updated with a new kitchen, fresh carpet and paint, new sofa with recliners, and recently updated bath. The house is comfortable and well-maintained. We have a big living room with 2 couches and a large-screen TV which has Spectrum cable and the home now has WiFi. Enjoy the oceanview while eating at the large dining table. The house will comfortably hold 6 people. We have 2 bedrooms: each with a queen bed and a twin. We also have 2 twin roll-away beds in storage closets in the living room. The kitchen has been newly remodeled with a DISHWASHER, garbage disposal and real vent/fan over the stove! The house also has a laundry room with washer & dryer. The deck wraps around the front of the house, side and half the back. There is a Weber kettle BBQ. Restrictions are no smoking, no pets. Rockaway Beach is a quick drive from Portland and a quiet town with ice cream & candy shops, restaurants, antique shops and a lake nearby to take your family trout fishing.

Very nice property in this price range. Beds were comfortable. View from the living room is nice. A house in front, but you still see plenty of ocean and sky. Kitchen is nicely stocked with plenty of flatware, utensils, pots, pans, dishes. Appliances all worked. Nice to have washer/dryer on property. Excellent beach access!Can walk to the shops. Several good eating spots. Host was very fast and friendly with communications.

The property is in a fantastic location. The beach is accessible in either direction. The house has a nice activity/game closet for kids and they also provided cable TV. All of the best spots in Rockaway Beach are walkable from this location as well. The kitchen was outfitted nicely and the washer/dryer worked well. Overall we had a great stay and would love to stay there again.

The house was clean, beds were comfortable. Instructions for key and WiFi instructions were easy to follow. There were fun games and puzzles, even a step stool for our 4 year old! It was within walking distance to the beach and to town. Would definitely stay again.

This place was so perfect for us! Great location, excellent communication and info from property owner, and so comfortable! The house was so equipped with everything we could have needed that it got to be a joke "I bet they have toothpicks, scissors, griddle, etc. "! Everything was very clean (bedding, couches, floors). Cannot say good enough about this place, we loved our stay!

Thanks, Connie! Yes, being able to cross the street and be right on the sand and next to the Pacific ocean is a plus! I bet you had great weather too! August and September are usually good weather months at the Oregon coast. I hope you will consider another getaway at our beach house!
